Quick read

Nick Newell, who lost to Justin Gaethje by TKO in a 2014 WSOF title fight, reflects on what made Gaethje uniquely difficult to deal with. Newell says the only way to stop Gaethje is to knock him completely out, as nothing else alters his output, pressure, or power regardless of fatigue. Newell added that he has seen only two fighters who maintain their full output even when clearly exhausted — Gaethje and Dricus Du Plessis.
